Most Disliked
Despite its many strengths, The Silver Bullet has room for improvement. Some diners have noted that during peak hours, it can get quite busy, leading to longer wait times for food. On particularly crowded weekends, tables may feel a bit cramped, challenging those seeking a quieter dining experience. A few guests have also mentioned that occasionally, certain menu items sell out during rush periods, leaving them disappointed, especially if they had their hearts set on a specific dish.
Additionally, while the outdoor seating is a nice option during nice weather, a few patrons have expressed concerns about limited coverage during hot sunny days or rain, which can deter outdoor dining. However, these issues are often overshadowed by the enthusiastic service and quality of food.

Last minute decision to eat lunch after long early day running. Well lite lunch time. Mask wear required posted a plus. Staff noted wearing mask also. Food was service fast, hot, and fresh. Nice and friendly waitress checked back occasionally to make sure food was ok and drinks if drinks needed refills. Overall visit was great. My job orders carryout from here sometime so I decided to stop in with my husband and enjoy the burger special with the Swiss cheese and I the tenderloin special. I would gladly visit again.
